I am looking for information on Edith Thompson, daughter of Hewson Thompson and Elsie Jacobs who is or was living behing the High School in Banff. Also Hewson had a son named George who lived in Vancouver

Hi, the time frame is now?
Searching the online white pages directory MyTelus.com
http://www.mytelus.com/phonebook/index.do
Finds 2 THOMPSON surnames listed. Perhaps family connected.

Cheers, Stella

Hi Ron,

The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists these possible names;

Hewson Edward THOMPSON, 1880 - interred 28 Dec 1967
Elsie THOMPSON, 1896 - interred % Jan 1990
both buried next to each other in the Mount Pleasant cemetery at Edmonton.

This AGS Master Index has some 8 Edith THOMPSON's listed.

Do you have any dates or ages for these persons?

For further research please contact the AGS Research Services Committee of the Edmonton Branch,

Hi Peter and Rose

Thank you for replying to my query. The Hewson Edward Thompson buried in Edmonton I believe is a brother to my Great-grandfather. He was born and raised in York County in Ont. and had a wife and family in Ont. My aunt told me that he went to Edmonton but he had left his wife. The Elsie (Jacob) Thompson buried beside him is a common-law wife. I was told this by a great-grandchild of their's who I think lives in Edmonton. This same person also told me that He believed that Hewson and Elsie had a daughter still alive, living behind a High School in Banff.

I had been corresponding with this person in Edmonton (and his mother) until I told them that he had a wife and 2 children in Ont. before he went west. Since giving them this information, they no longer reply to any of my emails.
